Not having too much experience running recursive resolvers, I found the
article at https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01309 and it seems that, apart
from perhaps distributing a new root hints file to get rid of checkhints
warnings, this should not be an operational problem.

Is there anything I'm missing?


Thanks,
Stefan
